BAY CITY, MI — A Bay City man is charged with two felonies after police say he broke into a woman’s house and raped her.

Bay County District Judge Mark E. Janer on Wednesday, March 13, arraigned 26-year-old Abdulai Bangurah on single counts of first-degree home invasion and first-degree criminal sexual conduct with force causing injury. The former charge is punishable by up to 20 years in prison, while the latter is a life offense.

Bay City Police Lt. Joseph Lanava said that officers responded to a 911 call on the city’s East Side around 2:50 a.m. on Wednesday.

“The original call came in as a woman calling for help,” Lanava said, adding that the person who called 911 was a bystander and not the victim.

Officers made contact with a resident, who said Bangurah had been to her apartment earlier as part of a larger get-together. The party broke up and Bangurah returned, breaking into her residence and forcibly raping her, the woman told police.

Bangurah was still at the scene when police arrived. Officers arrested him and lodged him in the Bay County Jail.

At his arraignment, Bangurah asked Janer to appoint him an attorney. The judge set Bangurah’s bond at $350,000 cash-surety.

Bangurah is to appear for a preliminary examination before District Judge Dawn A. Klida at 3:30 p.m. on Monday, March 25.

Prior to facing the rape and home invasion charges, Bangurah on Feb. 8 was arraigned on a misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct. He was released on a $200 bond, which he forfeited by failing to appear for a pretrial conference on March 11.
